I liked this one. Nice use of the theme here. The hits were impactful and the variety of actions in such a small space was impressive. I like the zoom ins, sound, and the numbers that popped up. Very polished! Great work.

Fighting in a phone booth is a great fit for this theme! I enjoy fighting games a lot myself and this scratched the itch for sure!
Sadly the game does not load for me on this page (no game does). Maybe consider uploading it somewhere else (like on itch.io) :)
Simple but fun game. Graphics, especially the characters are quite nice and cute. Audio is great. I would have liked that your take on the theme affects gameplay as well. Good job!

Very cute little fighting game great work!
Great game, and good interpretation of theme!
Really nice game! I like how it looks but it felt impossibly hard. Then I realised I can just keep spamming X and never lose :)
Nice! I loved it! Refreshingly different use of the theme and well executed! Recruiting my other half to play it too. He is much better at this type of game than I am and I want to watch :P
@kasmilus thank you! I was playing with the balance until the final hour then realized after uploading that I made the haymaker too strong lol. Mostly due to the AI not knowing how to handle it properly. The previous build, the haymakers weren't strong enough, now it's too much
Well executed, too bad there is only 1 fight. The heavy attack seems very (too much?) spammable, it seems stamina is not calculated properly if you spam it.
It's a great game. I really enjoy music and sound effects, and the cheers after heavy fists make me truly feel like a fighter fighting for my dreams.
@matthieu-riboulot thank you! Yeah I focused more on cleaning up the core systems rather than adding more content. And yes unfortunately I was tuning the balance till the final moment and forget to set the haymakers cost back to normal haha. So it's set to 0 for this build unfortunately, hence it's spammable and super OP
Having so much fun playing this!
Woah ah ah ah. This is a nice, satisfying and polished game. Right on the start, the art, song and animation really *hooked* me... 'pun intended'. Good job!
I got so immersed in the game LOL! I lost 3-4 times in a row, got super pissed off and barely beat him the 5th time haha Great game, the visuals are amazing and the animations too! It gives you enough time to anticipate the punch and weave, but not too much time that it becomes too easy. Great stuff! Nice sound effects too. Really feels like a polished game. Great job!
Oh and also good job for thinking of this telephone boxing idea! I Saw the real thing a few days ago for the first time on youtube, funny sport haha
This was fun, managed to beat him first try! Good job on the game, really loved the art.
Really well executed! A bit difficult but I realize it makes this small demo have some replayability. Coherent graphics and sound
Nice game, really had some fun there, the music really helped hyping me and getting into it... I can now say I participated in a telephone booth fight, and that's perfect. XD
A simple yet fun game! I never expected the concept of phone booth fighting! It exceeded my expectations! I love this!❤
tight and responsive controls, awesome use of the theme, retro feel with really great and funny gameplay, very simple yet quite challenging, top notch!
It was really addictive. One particular match with 3 perfect haymakers felt sooo good. Also really nice music. Havent seen the credit so I assume you made it? really cool.
Couple of problems I had sometimes keys / actions seemed to lag, which is really noticeable in high-skill arcade games. And single level where opponent has more hp, for me it's just plain cheating =)
@a333 Sorry I should correct that. I added musician to the description. The Music was made by YouFulca. It was an RPG music pack I purchased years ago. Had to dig up the credits. Should have done that before the build.
Also it's less "lag" more that I didn't tune the recovery times correctly. So when things feel "laggy" you're probably recovering from another action. I plan on fixing all those details!
This game is very addicting, the concept is so unique. Also the hitting sounds felt good. I love it when camera zooms in, and the hit numbers.
This is a pretty good short game! I wish there was more to do (more enemies, powers, etc) but for a jam game it's great!
@agrmayank Thank you! Yeah those are all things I decided not to do specifically because it was a jam. I thought getting the game to feel right was more important than making rushed features and content, which can all come with time. On the fence about pursuing this project tbh. Don't know yet
Really polished. The camera zooms added to the impact of hits. I think a damage over time mechanic would neat since there's multiple rounds (unless I missed it). I did end up being able to spam the Haymaker to win. Dunno if that was a glitch or not. Nice graphics and audio! Always dig pixel art!
nice difficulty level, very nice graphics, awesome sounds, perfect little game <3
A pleasant and atmospheric game. Only heavy attack is always better than any strategy, but it was still nice to play.
